Proverbs 9:6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 Forsake foolishness that you may live;[a]
advance in the way of understanding.”
Footnotes
- 9:6 That you may live: life in Proverbs is this-worldly, consisting in fearing God or doing one’s duty toward God, enjoying health and long life, possessing wealth, good reputation, and a family. Such a life cannot be attained without God’s help. Hence Wisdom speaks not of life simply but of life with her; the guest is to live in Wisdom’s house.
